A Love That None Can Match

Thank you mom...
For all those times I fail
to understand the deific,
unconditional love,
but you stay on
and love on me nonetheless..



Thank you...

For all those times you've stayed up,

on praying knees
while I was out there

clueless and juvenile...

 

Thank you...

For spoiling me silly everyday of my life

never really knowing
what a blessing it was

or what it cost.

 

I'll never know how it has been

the hardest endeavour
being a mother,

and how you have quietly tucked away

every ache and tear.. 

..maybe until one day I become one.

 

I don't know worthy if I'll ever be
to have been bestowed with this
transcendent love,

but I want you to know I try everyday..

 

taking my babysteps ( - the little girl that

never grew up..fluffy locks, orange jumper..

green tunic,white scarf.. and canvas Keds -

the way you remember me even to this day )

on that very under-accomplished path.

But  every night before turning in
I get on my knees and thank our God
for life's best gift He has given me in
my mother.
And I hold my breath and say the same prayer,
a thousandth time,
for her long and blessed life.

 

I love you mama! I am grateful to God for a mother that none can match.
